There She Goes is a 135 x 210mm landscape football photography book by Liverpool-based photographer Colin McPherson, capturing the atmosphere in and around Goodison Park on match days. A farewell to Everton’s historic home, it’s aimed squarely at Everton fans, football lovers and anyone fascinated by old-school stadia. We produced a compact, perfect bound book on uncoated stocks so the colour images feel gritty and immediate, echoing the streets outside the ground.

“Books have arrived. Great job, they look superb! Hopefully I’ll be re-ordering from you soon.”
There She Goes brings together photographs made in the neighbourhoods around Goodison Park, from supporters’ clubs and street corners to queues outside the turnstiles.
Inside, Colin shows fans gathering, protesting, laughing and waiting – small human moments that say as much about the club as any action shot on the pitch. The opening pages set the scene with a short introduction before the book settles into a steady rhythm of full-bleed images and quiet pauses on blank pages.
It’s a love letter to a ground that has hosted generations of Everton supporters, produced in a size that’s easy to slip into a jacket pocket or leave on the coffee table.
We printed the book at 135 x 210mm in landscape orientation – a natural fit for terraces, queues and street scenes that run horizontally across the frame.
The 4pp cover is on 300gsm uncoated stock with matt lamination to the outer. That combination keeps the surface tactile while adding a subtle protective layer, ideal for a book that will be handled at home, in pubs and at fan events.
Inside, 44 pages on 120gsm uncoated stock carry four-colour CMYK printing with a measured, granular look. The paper weight is light enough for easy flicking yet still has enough body to avoid show-through on these rich, contrasty images. A 3mm spine and perfect binding give the book the feel of a finished publication rather than a simple matchday zine.

The cover photograph places Goodison’s familiar façade centre stage, with the title “THERE SHE GOES” appearing as hand-style graffiti along the bottom edge – a nod to both terrace culture and the bittersweet nature of leaving a beloved ground.
Inside, spreads are dominated by full-width images that tumble across the gutter: fans walking towards the turnstiles, queues outside blue-painted shops, banners draped from pub fronts and the odd protest placard held high. A few text pages explain the project and its timeline, set on clean white backgrounds to let the images do most of the storytelling.
The uncoated stock softens the colours slightly and introduces a subtle texture, echoing brick walls, street pavements and weathered signage around the stadium. It all adds to the feeling that you’re standing in the crowd rather than viewing a glossy corporate brochure.
Colin came to us with finished page JPEGs and a clear spec, but needed help turning those files into a print-ready, paginated book. Instead of using WeTransfer, he shared a download link from his own website and we confirmed receipt of the complete set of covers and internal pages.
Because the artwork was supplied as individual images, we quoted a small additional fee to rebuild the book, sequence the pages correctly and create the final print PDF. Colin also queried the difference between 44 and 48 pages; we clarified that his design equated to 44 inside pages plus a 4pp cover, matching the perfect bound quote.
Before going to press, we supplied an online proof and talked Colin through how the viewer displays spreads, bleed and the small slithers of adjacent pages that appear on screen but are trimmed off in reality.
During proofing, Colin noticed the text on a few pages looked fuzzy and asked whether that would print sharply. We spotted that the type had been set in Photoshop, which can cause pixelated edges, and recommended redoing those pages in layout software or re-exporting with anti-aliasing turned on.
Colin reworked three key pages and sent fresh files; we dropped them into the artwork, rebuilt the PDF and issued a second proof for approval. Once he was happy, the book went straight to press.
We managed the full process keeping Colin updated with ETA information and a one-hour delivery window. The finished books landed on time and he immediately fed back that they “look superb”, already thinking ahead to a follow-up project at Everton’s new stadium.
